Minor Moves: Indians, Dodgers, Jake Fox

The Indians announced that outfielder Jerad Head elected free agency. The 28-year-old spent most of the season at Triple-A, where he posted a .284/.338/.526 line with 24 homers.

Double-A right-hander Will Savage re-signed with the Dodgers on a minor league deal according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). The 27-year-old posted a 3.95 ERA with 5.5 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 141 1/3 innings in 2011.

Jake Fox refused an assignment to the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate and has elected free agency, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com (on Twitter). Baltimore had outrtighted Fox off of its 40-man roster last week. The 29-year-old posted a .756 OPS in 67 plate appearances this year, appearing behind the plate, in left field and at first base.

I wish Jake all the best. I got to meet him this past season, and he couldn’t have been a nicer guy to talk to. He’s never gotten a chance to play every day, and hopefully he’ll find a team to give him that chance.

I do think his power is for real (unlike Omar Epps, a.k.a. Willie Mays Hayes).
